Microsoft Caves In To Dutch Site On Spyware Spat | |

Microsoft agrees to apologize and pay a Dutch portal for mistakenly flagging it as a purveyor of malicious content, the latest in a rash of problems that anti-spyware vendors have faced. Microsoft this week agreed to both apologize and pay a Dutch portal for mistakenly flagging it as a purveyor of malicious content, the latest in a rash of problems that anti-spyware vendors -- including Microsoft -- have recently faced. The Startpagina.nl directory site objected to being classified as a "browser hijacker" by the first edition of Microsoft AntiSpyware, the beta software Microsoft first released in early January, and demanded that Microsoft change its tune. After being threatened with legal action, Microsoft gave in on Monday, and agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to Startpagina.nl's parent company. It has also posted an apology on its own Dutch and Belgian sites dedicated to the AntiSpyware application. | ||
